Best Slasher Movies

No, it’s not a slasher movie, but it has vampires so it counts!

I love Twilight and I’m not ashamed to admit it. Edward Cullen is every woman’s fantasy – dark, brooding, dangerous, protective and gorgeous. Sure he has a little problem with needing to drink blood to survive, but everyone has their flaws.

I have to say, the first time I watched Twilight I hated it. The acting is sometimes cringe-worthy and it doesn’t hold a candle to the book but I liked it a lot more after a second viewing. Since then, I can’t count how many times I’ve seen it. I counted down the days until New Moon, drove six hours to watch it with a girlfriend and will likely do the same when Eclipse hits theaters in June.

Backwoods is nothing new. We’ve seen the plot in at least a dozen other – and better – movies, that this movie seems familiar at best and ripped-off at worst. There are some scenes that easily would’ve been at home in too many other movies to list here.

With that said, Backwoods isn’t  a bad movie once you get over it’s flaws – the biggest of which being the familiarity already mentioned. Even so, Backwoods has a lot going for it – it’s fast paced, suspenseful and manages to pull off that eerie out of place feeling that makes a slasher movie work. All told, this isn’t one of the best slasher movies I’ve ever seen, but it’s not the worst either.
